I have unfortunately had one or two of those moments. Long time experience with guns is almost as dangerous as no experience at all. Every once in a while we get careless through sheer habit.
As a young man I put a hole through my window and into a neighbor's roof with an 1896 Winchester .22 gallery pump rifle.
I can still remember my shock at the discharge from an "empy" gun.
